The family of a victim of the Glasgow bin lorry crash are to sue the council for compensation.

The action by Jacqueline Morton's sons could pave the way for payouts to the relatives of the six people killed.

Glasgow City Council, which employed lorry driver Harry Clarke, has said it does not intend to contest the action, which will be settled by insurers.

A fatal accident inquiry found Mr Clarke lost consciousness at the wheel before the crash in December 2014.
